One could just pick up the pieces from ikea get their crew to install all of it, copying the Ikea demo rooms.

Remember, it does not include demo.

This way the GC can easily bid out each part of the job, and get me a bid much more quickly than if he has to consolidate based on my "room to room" list of things to do.I'll then have my GC give me a labor bid broken down into the following components:- Permits- Demo/Dumpster- Foundation- Roof Framing- Roof Felt/Shingles- Siding- Gutters/Soffits/Fascia- Decks/Porches- Landscaping- Doors- Windows- Wall Framing/Sheetrock- Electrical Rough- Electrical Final- Plumbing Rough- Plumbing Final- HVAC Rough- HVAC Final- Kitchen Cabinets/Countertops- Bathroom Cabinets- Bathroom Fixtures- Interior Paint- Exterior Paint- Carpet- Hardwood- Tile- Vinyl- OtherOther could consist of anything from install mini-blinds to replacing outlet covers to installing appliances.This generally gives me (and the GC) enough detail that the job can be accurately estimated, and if things change (or surprises are found), we can adjust individual areas accordingly.This also gives me a good idea how much each of his subs will be making, allowing me to figure out what his profit margins will be -- giving me some negotiating help if needed.If your contractors have an issue with filling this out, try telling them, "My lender is requiring me to break it down this way in order to approve the loan."

Hello Demos, My partner has a buyer lined up for that property on Josephine St. in Pittsburgh already.

Over the years I've talked to thousands of investors... that bought and held when they started.. leveraged out the ying yang... when they started...I did too...

I estimated garage repairs for demo and putting up an aluminum shed or carport.

By then, only the demo was done (mostly removing the old tile). 

They will all do about an hour demo for you.

Paid 4k in demo alone and my contractor was whining the whole time about how dusty and gross the job was.

For context, I've given him leeway in several other areas relating to HOA policies since he is new (i.e. contractors started demo/ construction prior to the quiet hours noted in our CC&R's several times during the weekend.
